The Fungal-Specific Transcription Factor VpFSTF1 Is Required for Virulence in Valsa pyri
10 Jan 2020
Abstract excerpt
Valsa pyri is the causal agent of pear canker disease, which leads to enormous losses of pear production in eastern Asian, especially China. In this study, we identified a fungal-specific transcription factor 1 (termed as VpFSTF1) from V. pyri, which is highly conserved in fungi. To characterize its functions, we generated mutant and complementation strains in V. pyri and found that △VpFSTF1 mutants lost the...
